Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of a bag for storing, preserving, and steeping and/or softening of food products.
  • Salting and drying have been used as preservation methods for food products for a very long time. These preservation methods are still used extensively. This applies to food products, such as e.g. meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables. These preservation methods have also left their mark on local cooking methods and traditional dishes; i.e. the preservation methods are not only relevant with regard to preservation, but also to taste and texture. The preservation methods contribute to taste changes, maturation processes, and texture changes. Examples of food products which are characterized by their preservation method are: clipfish, salted meat, cured meat, dried peas, etc.
  • DE102006039566 discloses a plastic draining container for holding foodstuffs placed in liquid which is divided into two equally large chambers by a partition that has apertures for the admission of liquids so that the liquid collects in the first and second chamber depending on the position of the container.
  • WO2007/025541 discloses a filtering cup and methods of using such filtering cup.
  • EP1245504 discloses a bag with two compartments for steaming food products .
  • EP0778202 discloses an aseptic bag for separating off liquid.
  • EP1106529 discloses a bag for storing and rinsing a product.
  • the present invention solves at least one of the above disadvantages by the use of a bag as set forth in the appended independent use claim 1.
  • the dependent claim 2 sets forth an advantageous embodiment.
  • the present invention discloses the use of a bag (1) for storing, preserving, soaking and softening of a food product, especially clipfish, where the bag (1) is divided into at least a first (2,7) and a second section (3, 8), wherein a partition (5, 6) is separating the first and the second sections (2,7,3,8), the partition (5,6) comprising a number of holes arranged to let through salt or other chemicals, and the bag (1) comprising a closing mechanism (4), wherein the volume of the bag (1) is adapted to the food product and its amount, where a water volume of the bag (1) is matched to the food product and its amount in order to achieve correct steeping and softening, where the water volumen, temperature, and minimum time for steeping and softening are specified on the bag (1) or other packaging and that:
  • the packaging 1 also functions as a steeping bag.
  • the closing mechanism 4 is essentially waterproof.
  • the closing mechanism 4 may also interact in such a way that both the inner and the outer bag 2 and 1, respectively, are opened and closed simultaneously.
  • the inner bag 2 is attached or mounted in a suitable manner and at a suitable place in the outer bag 1.
  • the inner bag 2 may be secured to the outer bag 1 by means of a plastic weld (not shown).
  • the inner bag 2 may be secured, for example, to the outer bag 1 such that the openings of the inner bag 2 and the outer bag 1 coincide (as shown in Fig. 1 ).
  • no inner bag 2 is used on the inside of the outer bag 1.
  • a partition 6, as shown in Fig. 2 This partition 6 may have the same design and/or function as the small holes or the membrane 5 described in connection with the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the partition 6 can be attached in a suitable and conventional manner.
  • the partition 6 forms two (or more) chambers or sections 7 and 8, respectively, where section 7 corresponds to the inner bag 2, and section 8 corresponds to the residual space in the outer bag 1.
  • the membrane 5 can function as a kind of one-way valve, which lets through the salt, or any other chemicals, in one direction, but not in the other. In this way, the packaging/steeping bag 1 will not be strictly dependent on it being upright in the correct position during the actual steeping.
  • the volume of the outer bag or packaging 1 is specifically matched to the food product to be stored.
  • the food product (not shown) has been finish-preserved and pretreated, the food product is passed into the inner bag 2, alternatively into the section 7.
  • the closing mechanism 4 or another outer closing mechanism (not shown) is closed, and the bag 1 is bent, folded or rolled up, possibly in a manner wanted by the manufacturer/distributor/seller, preferably such that the total product appears in a savoury, fine, or practical manner.
  • the outer bag or the packaging 1 When the food product has reached the end user/consumer and is to be steeped and/or softened prior to the final preparation, the outer bag or the packaging 1 is filled with water.
  • the end user/consumer need not decide on the quantity of water, changing, draining etc.
  • the outer bag or the packaging 1 is filled up with water, the closing mechanism 4 is closed, and the device containing food product and the right quantity of water is stored in a suitable place, for example in a fridge, larder, or the like.
  • the volume of the outer bag or the packaging 1 is matched precisely to the food product to be steeped and/or softened, the food product now has to stand only for a specified minimum time within a given temperature range.
  • the end user/consumer has to relate only to the minimum time that the food product must be steeped and/or softened. If the end user/consumer is to prepare and serve a specific dish on Saturday afternoon, and the packaging says that the food product must be steeped and/or softened for at least one day, it does not matter whether water is filled into the bag one or four days before, i.e. Friday or Tuesday. The result and the quality are the same, the food product is not steeped too much so that it loses flavour. In comparison to all other ways of steeping and/or softening such food products, this is much easier for the end user/consumer, in addition to it giving a significantly better and predictable result.
  • a practical example of the above is steeping of fully salted clipfish.
  • the time it takes for fully salted clipfish to reach optimal salt concentration by steeping has been established. How much salt is ideal in the steeped fish will depend on how the steeped fish is to be cooked. If the fish is to be grilled, baked, or fried, it is recommended that the salt content be somewhat lower than for fish to be boiled or steamed.
  • optimal salt concentration for example 2.5 g/100 g fish
  • optimal salt concentration in loins is obtainable after 54-60 hours in the fridge, and 36-40 hours at room temperature. For smaller cuts of loins, belly portions, and tail portions it takes 20-24 hours on steeping in the fridge, and 16-20 hours on steeping at room temperature.
  • the fish should be prepared the same day. If it is steeped in the fridge, it can be stored for up to four days in the fridge before cooking. If the fish is steeped in the fridge, there is a minimum time to get down to the optimal salt concentration, while the maximum time is determined by the amount of bacteria etc.
  • the bag 1 is constructed such that the consumer can easily and without prior knowledge soak/steep the product by only adding water.
  • the present invention contributes to food safety in that the food product does not need to leave the packaging before it goes into the pot.
  • the food product can be packaged, stored, transported, steeped, frozen etc. in the same packaging without being handled by or on potentially unclean fingers, tools, or surfaces.
  • the end user/consumer does not have to think about changing of water, quantity of water; there will be no muddle, mess, washing-up, or odour; perfect steeping is achieved; and everyone is able to use the product.
  • the bag 1 is designed such that it stands upright by itself.
  • the partition 6 and/or the inner bag 2 is/are designed such that the food product does not sink to the bottom 10 of the outer bag 1, but is held at a given distance above the bottom 10 of the bag 1. This is advantageous because for example salt/salt water will sink to the bottom of the bag due to its high density relative to water. Thus, the food product will be kept away from this region with high concentration of chemical which it is desired to steep.
  • the food product is preserved with a chemical which is lighter than water, then the situation is reversed.
  • the food product can be placed in the lower section 8, or optionally the inner bag 2 is placed at the bottom of the outer bag 1.
  • the bag 1 may be provided with draining means 9, a weakening zone 9', which makes it easy to tear open the bag, and/or optionally comprise a line or marking indicating where it is advantageous to cut the bag 1 (not shown).
  • the bag 1 may be arranged such that it can stand by itself while and after the bag is being emptied/has been emptied of water.
  • the bag can be fitted with a hook or a hole (not shown), which makes it easy to mount the bag on a faucet or the like.
